"It's wintertime, and the bear, the moose and the beaver can't wait for hockey season to start. They're so eager, in fact, they head out onto the ice before it's thick enough, and they all fall through. Twice. While they wait for the lake to freeze, they try to take their minds off hockey.

Growing up in Oliver, BC, Bowering was entranced by the kids from Saskatchewan who...

Miraculously, eight years later, they were champions. Despite their mercurial rise in the 1970s'-which included a first-place overall...
